Rational Choice and Political Power
ISBN: 9781852783358 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book applies rational choice theory to the power debate, demonstrating the fallacious arguments of all sides. Power is analyzed as a bargaining game where the power of actors is assessed in terms of the resources to which they have access.

This conceptual book on power directly engages both classical and modern empirical debates on the power structure at both local and national level.
